Ramon trusts that they'll do their jobs and walks up to the man down. It's Felipe and he's hit in the chest - probably not mortally but he definitely needs a hospital and right now.
He squats down next to him, handgun hanging loosely in his hand, looking at the mans face. Felipe was there when Ramon shot Hector and there's no hope in his eyes.
'I'm sorry, Felipe. But we can't help you and I can't leave you for the Americans to find.'
He knows too much and Ramon's willing to bet he'd swap information for medical treatment. So he stands and Felipe nods once, white-faced and resigned. It's over quickly, a shot to the heart, and afterwards Ramon looks to the faces of the others. But he can't see them in the dark.
'We'll stay here until she gets back otherwise we might lose her.'
Silence.
'Who is she?'
It's Esteban and his voice is carefully polite. Very carefully. Ramon considers for a moment, then lights a cigarette.
'She's a friend. She kills for me and that's all you need to know.'

No one says anything else.
